SCRT Board Approves New Benefits at November Meeting
The SCRT Board of Directors held their annual fall board meeting in Atlanta, GA on November 5, 2010. Two new benefits for SCRT members were approved.
The board accepted a two-part offer from the Hydro Lab Training and Research Center in Cicero, IN.
First, beginning January 1, 2011 all new or renewing SCRT members will receive a $300.00 coupon towards one of four different advanced drying classes to be held at the Hydro Lab Center. This offer will enable any member of the SCRT to recover all their membership fees by just taking one class. Coupons will be mailed to members upon renewal.
Second, the Hydro Lab Center is offering up to $40,000 in scholarships exclusively to SCRT members beginning January 1, 2011. With this program in place, the value of scholarship opportunities available to SCRT members far exceeds the cost of membership.
Details will be posted soon on the SCRT website www.Scrt.org or for further information, contact Rachel Adams, SCRT board member, at rlaiam@aol.com or Mike Watkins at the Hydro Lab Center at mwatkins@hydro-systems.com.
Another benefit approved for SCRT regular members is an offer for owners with multiple physical locations operating under the same ownership to have other physical locations listed on the SCRT website as members for an administrative fee of only $50.00.
SCRT President, Gary Glenn, Responds to IICRC Announcement
The IICRC has announced the possible creation of an International Trade Association. This most likely would result in the existing 13 trade associations becoming chapter- like entities of the new ITA
IICRC has setup a taskforce to look into all aspects of this coming to fruition. The ITA would be a separate entity from IICRC with its own Board of Directors.
This decision by the IICRC is in its infancy and does not interfere with the normal operations of the 13 trade associations. It will continue to be business as usual for all the associations.
If and when this should become a reality, the transition should be a smooth process possibly at no additional cost to members.
In the meantime, SCRT is already an International Trade Association offering many benefits to its regular and associate members. These benefits can be viewed at www.Scrt.org
